Analog Devices Inc. introduces a zero-drift, digitally-programmable instrumentation amplifier (in-amp). Rated over an extended industrial temperature range, the AD8231 is suited for a variety of ...

Instrumentation Amplifiers can be tricky to design and get right. Linear Technology just released a new application notes with some tips on creating an ultra-precise instrumentation amplifier design ...

Offset drift can be problematic in high precision applications and cannot be calibrated out during initial manufacturing. In addition to drift over temperature, an amplifier’s input offset voltage can ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

Current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) provide a versatile platform for signal processing in contemporary integrated circuits. By converting differential input currents into ...

High-side current-sense amplifiers (CSAs) are principally used for monitoring the current from a positive supply rail. However, applications like ISDN and telecom power supplies require CSAs that ...

The ordinary modern IC op amp is fully applicable to most standard amplifier configurations. Error sources are small and may be of no concern, or one can easily ...
